About Me:
I am married, retired and enjoy crafting, scrapbooking and making greeting cards. I have four grown children, sixteen grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. My husband and I do many home projects and have basically learned the hard way and have come up with wonderful, creative ideas along the way. Always wanting to keep up-to-date with new technology and other people's crafting and decorating ideas. Hope to meet others with the same interests and ideas for creating a great lifestyle!
Favorite area of home improvement:
My husband is the green thumb in the family...although, I do love the lush lawns and gorgeous florals. Unfortunately, we live in an area where deer feed on anything we put in our flower beds so we have considered our yard to be a "cottage" yard and don't worry about planting anything too expensive or that we would miss once it is eaten. We recently updated our kitchen. Our next major project will be replacing wood floors in two rooms of our home. We have a son and daughter living near us so my husband is busy with projects in their homes as well.
